Even in Darkness She Chose to Rise (Tatiana and Jasper) novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517 The Replacement Phone

She was already starving.

5 Pears

The clothes provided were casual and fit perfectly. She didn’t hesitate to change into them; anything was better than the black dress from last night that already smelled like a mess.

Once she was ready, a driver was waiting to take her back. Norman never showed his face..

“Where is he?” she asked.

Now that she had her strength back, she was itching for a chance to kill him and eliminate the threat to Bovine.

“He’s busy and couldn’t make it. He told us to make sure you got home safely.”

It seemed she wouldn’t be seeing him. She felt a twinge of regret at the missed opportunity.

The car came to a stop and she got out, back at the underground boxing club. She couldn’t wait to get home. Her phone was long gone, and she hadn’t been able to contact Bovine all night. He had to be worried sick.

“Flowie!”

Sandra’s frantic voice rang out. “Thank god! I finally found you! I thought you’d disappeared!”

Sandra rushed over to hug her, but Tammy stepped aside.

“Flowie?”

Tammy looked at her coldly. “You were looking for me?”

“Flowie, I’ve been looking for you all night! Where did you go?”

“You don’t know where I went?”

Sandra looked confused by the counter–question. “Flowie… what is that supposed to mean?”

Tammy laid out exactly what had happened but she omitted the part about the masked gala, and simply said she had managed to escape by pure luck.

Sandra looked like she was going to explode with rage. “How could she do that? I warned her! I had no idea about any of this!”

Tammy watched her expression closely. It didn’t seem fake, which made her feel slightly better.

“Where is she?”

“Cherlene? I’ll take you to her right now! Damn it, I can’t believe she did this!”

Sandra was ready to go then and there, but Tammy shook her head. “I’m going home first. Wait for me to contact you.”

“Okay! Flowie, I really didn’t know. If I had, I never would have let her do it. But it’s still my fault. Im sorry, I’m so sorry!”

Sandra was clearly drowning in guilt and wanted to settle the score with Cherlene immediately. Tammy’s anger cooled slightly. “Wait for my call.”

She hurried back to the room. Standing outside the door, she took a deep breath. Just as she was about to reach for the handle, the door swung open.

Norman was standing there. The moment he saw her, he pulled her into a crushing hug.

“Flowie! Where were you? I’ve been looking everywhere, I couldn’t find you. You scared me to death!”

Tammy stared into his eyes for a long time until she was certain they were the same familiar, adoring eyes she knew.

They weren’t like the eyes from last night.

She finally relaxed and hugged him back tightly, taking a deep breath of his scent.

“Thank god.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Thank god… it’s you… it’s really you…”

Norman felt like a needle had been driven into his heart. It was a sharp, aching pain.

He knew exactly what she meant. He had terrified her last night, but he couldn’t explain. “What’s the matter? Where were you last night? You didn’t answer your phone.”

She buried her head in his chest and mumbled, “It’s nothing. I lost my phone and got lost.”

She didn’t want to tell him about “Norman.” She just wanted him to stay exactly as he was now.

Both of them were hiding their own secrets, keeping up the act of a perfect couple.

Norman made her a meal himself. She ate until she was stuffed, then lay on the sofa rubbing her stomach as she watched him busy himself with the dishes.

The more she looked at him, the more she loved him, and the luckier she felt.

Thank god Bovine isn’t like that prick from last night!

“Flowie, are you coming to see my match this afternoon?”

As much as she wanted to, she shook her head. “I have stuff to do this afternoon, so I won’t go. I’ll be back tonight.”

“What stuff?”

It’s Sandra’s birthday!” she lied on the spot.

Norman didn’t press her. He just smiled and leaned in. “Remember to come back tonight. Don’t get low again.

“I know, I know!”

“Here, your favorite. He pulled a blueberry cheesecake out of the fridge and handed it to her

“Whoa! When did you buy this?”

“While I was looking for you. I figured I’d need something to cheer you up once I found you.”

Her heart warmed. It felt incredibly sweet.

“Eat up. I’ll be right back.”

She nodded, her mouth already full of cake. By the time she finished, he was back with a new phone in his hand.

“I picked up a new SIM card, too. All your apps are installed and my number is saved.”

He was always meticulous. When he wanted to treat someone well, nobody could resist it. Norman’s reputation as a legendary flirt wasn’t just about his family name; his thoughtfulness was his ultimate

weapon.

Tammy happily took the new phone. There was only one number saved on it, marked with a star. His.
